| Apr 26, 2014 at 12:54 | comment | added | mikuszefski | Good point. That's definitively an option. Little research also revealed that replacing the card is not too complicated. I'll evaluate which one is more convenient. At the moment it stays on cable. | |
| Apr 25, 2014 at 12:26 | comment | added | chili555 | There are many USB wireless devices that can be bought for US$10-15. If you decide to do so, be sure to research Ubuntu compatibility carefully. | |

Ok, I'll probably test it with WEP, but of course not keep it like this. The T42 is not worth the trouble for a newer device, so I'll let it work via cable then. However, still strange that it does not work without encryption and the eth1 and wifi0 in parallel still puzzles me.

The second interface was somewhat common in older cards and drivers, which the Aironet certainly is. As WEP is quite insecure, I suggest a newer device. | |

Although, you might be correct anyway. nm-tool states that that the cards capabilities are WEP, if this is what you ment.

| Apr 22, 2014 at 14:23 | comment | added | mikuszefski | It is not the encryption; even with no encryption, open network, it does not work. | |

Yes, with sudo iwlist eth1 scan I see WPA and WPA2 networks.

| Apr 22, 2014 at 13:01 | comment | added | chili555 | My suspicion is that the old Aironet not only doesn't do WPA2 but, at least in Linux, doesn't do WPA at all. When you scan, does it report any WPA networks? | |

That gives eth1 unknown authentication information. Same on wifi0
